you don't need to run the server unless you want to play the offline version. in that case there is a separate download called Chatventures_LOCAL_OFFLINE.zip however it's only for windows and it's an older version right now (has some bugs)
Oh, yeah. I finnally got to kill one at lvl 45. Thanks! The reason I thought winter wolf couldnt be the monster to drop that is because winter boots are for lvl 20 and they are sold in big town along with other items that are easy to get, and to kill winter wolfs or even to get to glacy pass you need to be high lvl
hi! i just bought this game and i got an error that ive seen in the comments - you told someone else to run the server first before opening the game to fix it. i tried figuring out how to do that, but i am having trouble understanding. i am on mac if that helps. thanks <3 luv u guyz
For some reason, when I try to hit play in the steam menu to play chatventures, it runs and then the screen closes out after playing the sokpop animation.
Hi! When trying to run the offline version, I keep getting a loop of the splash screen and then this error:
___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object oClient:
Unable to find any instance for object index '100012' at gml_Object_oClient_Step_0 ############################################################################################ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stack frame is gml_Object_oClient_Step_0 (line -1)
Is there a way to play this offline for times when there's no wifi? Like tricking the game into thinking the local network from my computer is the chatventures server?
If you make it available through itch though, I'll have to ask for it to be emailed to me because I only own the Steam version. I can provide those details on twitter dm's if needed.
Hey! I got the game and when I start I seem to be locked in a loop of sokpop splash screen coming up then the game going windowed and doing the splash screen again before going fullscreen again.
This message showed up when i first installed the game. could anyone help me solve this?

Hello! I played this game last night and found it very fun, but when i woke up, i typed in my username and the password didn't show up. I was planning on writing down the password today since i did so much grinding that night. Please, how do i recover my password so i can play again on that account. Btw my username in that game is also broskie64.
Where is the password generated? I made a character and didn't get any sort of password. Now I can't log in :( Just to check, I made a new character and still didn't get a password.
where might this file be on a Mac? I looked around in the package contents of the chatventures_client and didn't find anything like <username>.ini seems like you'd want to see this on the character creation screen or an in game menu
If a shadoman's suck attack misses or you dodge it, it shouldn't heal them, because that's kinda just the obvious thing...
If you think that they will be too easy to kill after that change (I don't think so, but whatever...) then you could instead increase their health a bit.
I dont know if it is just me, but farming 15 fairy dust for the fairy staff takes so long compared to farming the material for the gleamblade, which is a better weapon than fairy staff. Maybe you could slightly lower the cost or increase the drop rate of fairy dust?
considering all things, twice the drop rate of fairy dust and reducing the cost to about 5 fairy dust might actually be reasonable
considering that fairy staff is a temporary weapon until you get e.g. voidstaff
the main reason why it takes so long to get fairy dust is that most of the times only gremlins will appear, and if you are solo, waiting for 1 respawn every 30s takes really long...
another thing that needs fixing: if your command list is full enough so that it uses scrolling (arrows at top and bottom) it only shows the first weapon skill.
My friend didnt know that he could use stab and magic bolt with his gleamblade until I asked him to test it. :)
Is the server down? It gives me an error, I just bought the game too..

Breaking down the error GML is I think Game Maker Language so the problem is inside the program. Shaders are used to custom render something not using the defualt game engine renderer. So no my guess is the servers are not down but instead the programmer has a bug in their code.
The game is super nice! But it crashed a few times. Screen completely unresponsive, had to open task manager and shut it down. Sometimes, after forcing the game to close, it got stuck when I re-opened it as well. One time it crashed everything, and had to force my computer to shut down.

im trying to run this game but i dont know how to run the server? was it supposed to come with the download or something?

hi, send an e-mail to us@sokpopo.co and i will take a look!
Just a small question, how do you get thick pelt? I'm lvl 37 and still can't get winter boots because of that
winter wolves in glacy pass?
Oh, yeah. I finnally got to kill one at lvl 45. Thanks! The reason I thought winter wolf couldnt be the monster to drop that is because winter boots are for lvl 20 and they are sold in big town along with other items that are easy to get, and to kill winter wolfs or even to get to glacy pass you need to be high lvl
yeah that's probably kinda misleading haha
sent you an e-mail!
Thank you so much!

are you trying to play the game online or offline with your own server?
online
For some reason, when I try to hit play in the steam menu to play chatventures, it runs and then the screen closes out after playing the sokpop animation.
the server was down, but should be up again!

Hi! did you run the server as well? you have to run the server and then boot up the client.
Will the local offline be available on steam? Just curious!
probably not, for itch it's easy to just upload extra files, but for steam it's a bit more work.
Is there a way to play this offline for times when there's no wifi? Like tricking the game into thinking the local network from my computer is the chatventures server?
hm no you actually need a server version of the game that needs to be run. I could make a local server build available?
That would be awesome!
If you make it available through itch though, I'll have to ask for it to be emailed to me because I only own the Steam version.
I can provide those details on twitter dm's if needed.

you’re missing a directx driver:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35
Thank you!
How can I update the game? I keep getting the error 'unable to find game' when launching the client app on Mac.
copy and paste the file into a different folder and it’ll work!
Great! Thanks!
I can't get the MacOS client to run. "Apple cannot check it for malicious software."
Figured it out. Needed to control-click, choose open, then choose open again.
does anyone know how to get to where the ice golems are?
Hello, go to Bigtown east gate > mountain trail > moutain foot > mount glacy and here you are
thank you!! ^_^

Thanks, Broskie64.
hi do you still need your password? if so, send us a private message somewhere and i'll look it up for you.
pro tip, you can by weapons from eli in small town
an update! It just gets better and better.
Love it, would be amazing if this was on mobile
are you sure? typing on mobile sounds like hell to me!
Nah Ai dungeon does that
can you change your username at some point
you can't!
awwww
Hello! If I bought the game via patreon when it came out, how do I download the latest version?
(Also this game is awesome and I love it!)
go to https://sokpop.co/patreon_access/
Lovely, thank you!
Sadly now I'm back to where I was before, stuck in bogtown getting repeatedly murdered by snakes in the marshlands :(
lol
[edit] wow serpents are hard to kill
Hi! Will this game release on Steam soon?
yes!
Nice, thanks! :)
if we bought it here do we have to buy it again? edit:on steam i mean
should esc close the app? that seems slightly abrupt to me
I agree , going back to the connection menu would be great
The game crashes when you `check` yourself.
Anyway that game is so fun my fingers hurt.
Where is the password generated? I made a character and didn't get any sort of password. Now I can't log in :( Just to check, I made a new character and still didn't get a password.
if you can’t find it, you can always try to retrieve it from local savefiles. Go to C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Chatventure
There should be a file named <username>.ini
Open it in notepad and look for a line that says ww=
it’ll tell you the password behind the “=“
Thank you!
where might this file be on a Mac? I looked around in the package contents of the chatventures_client and didn't find anything like <username>.ini seems like you'd want to see this on the character creation screen or an in game menu
i tihnk it should be at Library/Application Support/com.sokpop.chatventures
also wondering how to access this on a Mac! I've gone to Show Package Contents --> Contents but I'm not sure where to go beyond that
i think it should be at Library/Application Support/com.sokpop.chatventures
Hi! I bought the game last night, i'm really enjoying it!
How can I talk to my friend which is also playing and online ?
make sure you’re in the same area and you should be able to interact with each other!
I rech 100
Playing it get me a lot of fun
I still not finnished stopping the dam becouse my earlier comments but its great
If you let us rech over 100 lvl i will come back to chatventures with pleasure
Great job <3
Regards
Another suggestion:
If a shadoman's suck attack misses or you dodge it, it shouldn't heal them, because that's kinda just the obvious thing...
If you think that they will be too easy to kill after that change (I don't think so, but whatever...) then you could instead increase their health a bit.
I have a suggestion about balancing:
I dont know if it is just me, but farming 15 fairy dust for the fairy staff takes so long compared to farming the material for the gleamblade, which is a better weapon than fairy staff. Maybe you could slightly lower the cost or increase the drop rate of fairy dust?
Is there someone who bought the fairy staff yet?
For comparison: you get 1 shadestone from shadownman in about 10-15 minutes, and 1 fairy dust in about 1-2 hours
Farming shadestones will also give you lot of XP and other useful drops
considering all things, twice the drop rate of fairy dust and reducing the cost to about 5 fairy dust might actually be reasonable
considering that fairy staff is a temporary weapon until you get e.g. voidstaff
the main reason why it takes so long to get fairy dust is that most of the times only gremlins will appear, and if you are solo, waiting for 1 respawn every 30s takes really long...
while i totally agree in general, you can actually use summon if you have the command
another thing that needs fixing: if your command list is full enough so that it uses scrolling (arrows at top and bottom) it only shows the first weapon skill.
My friend didnt know that he could use stab and magic bolt with his gleamblade until I asked him to test it. :)
I cant buy wizard hat or wizard robe from joel, although I have the neccessary coins and material. I think it is bugged. Could you please check it?
yes it's a bug, it will be fixed in the next patch!
thank you!!
Im sorry but i have to remind about my earlier comment.
I had problem with one quest and i want to know are you fix it or not
Im standing right now and cannot do anything beside getting experience
Thank you in advance <3
oh thanks for reminding me! almost put out a patch without fixing that.
I appreciate that you are helping everyone <3
It is the most relaxing game i played for a very long time
Thank you very very much for help <3
Hey, we're a whole community of people making online, persistent text only worlds. Come by at some point :) https://slack.mudcoders.com/
ughhh... Online: 1.
Am I doing something wrong? It prints “Unable to find game!!:” on start
copy and paste the file into a different folder and it should work again
Oh, that worked. Thank you very much
Is the server down? It gives me an error, I just bought the game too..

It seems different then the other errors on the page, I'm afraid I broke it.
Sorry- I'm impatient :(
Can like, literally ANYONE respond to this so i know if the server's down or if i broke the game i bought 4 hours ago and didnt get to play
Yes you are very impatient xD
You probably can't brake this game
If you played before and everything was fine i think it is server problem and you have to wait day only <3
In my opinion it will be fix on monday
I got it working!
I'd never played before, I needed a driver.

There is one problem
Me and my brother are playing chatventures and doing quest simultaneously.
When we entered the big corporation hq there was 3 enemies to beat in quest
We entered there together and i slain one of them, he kill 2 and now we can't finish the quest becouse enemies are not spawning anymore
XD
Can you please check this out? <3
Ps. Sorry for my english
oh i saw your e-mail!!
I think you just need to talk to that person again and they should spawn? Lmk if that doesnt work and ill check it out.
Unfortunately talking with that person again and again makes absolutely no difference :(
He's just saying
"Who let you in?"
I got the Fatal Error thing 😅
it's up again!
the game's awesome. i love it and it's cheep. I so exited that i get to play the first version and i wished more people played
Maybe you how to kill shadowmans in "dark dark depths" location? xD
